bluebrick

Blue Brick CLI. Scaffold a new project in seconds.

npx bluebrick create my-app

Pick a stack (Node or Python) and get a working project with an admin login, a Settings page, custom error pages and Tailwind already set up. A strong .env is written for you.

Templates

• node: Express + EJS + Tailwind
• python: Flask + Jinja + Tailwind

Both include an admin login, a Settings page to change the password, and a forgot-password flow that uses a one-time code read from the server.

Modules

cd my-app
bluebrick add sqlite
bluebrick add timezone

• sqlite: SQLite database with automatic migrations
• timezone: choose a country and time zone (or a fixed GMT offset) in Settings, with a live clock. Your code formats times with formatTime() (Node) or format_time() (Python)

Licensed products

Products bought from Blue Brick come with a license key that looks like BB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. One key works on one machine.

npx bluebrick activate BB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
cd product-name

Moving to a new server: run bluebrick deactivate in the product folder, then activate the key on the new machine. If you no longer have access to the old machine, email [email protected] and the key will be reset.

Forgot the admin password?

• In the browser: click Forgot password? on the login page, create a reset code, read it from the server log or data/reset.json, and set a new password.
• In the terminal: run bluebrick password in the project folder. It never asks for the old password.
